September has come to a close and FaunaFocus had one of its best months yet! Not only did FaunaFocus collaborate with WWF to raise funds to help increase tiger populations, but the Free-For-All had the most entries submitted yet, at 17 entries! Thank you to everyone who submitted artwork or attended the live judging, and special thanks to the experienced judges that offered their time and expertise. Every single piece was unique and offered a different perspective into the endangered elegance of the tiger. Any one of these entries were skilled enough to win!

Congratulations to September 2017’s Free-For-All Winner, Ashereast, who offered a pastel-colored celestial tiger full of fluidity and movement! Amy has chosen the featured animal species for the month of November, which will be revealed at the end of October’s Free-For-All live judging. October’s Free-For-All will feature the adorable red panda, so start sketching those chubby fluffballs!
